Inspired by you

Watch here

I woke up this morning with some kind of eye infection I think.  The burning, itchy pressure feeling isn't going away.  So I am going into my eye doctor today, hopefully it's not to bad.  Anyway, Last night I listened to Fika with Eriks Dotter and loved her interview with the artist, Michelle Armas.  I have loved her art and discovered her about 4 years ago.  So it was a treat to listen to her speak.  I related so much to her, it was kind of weird how many similarities we have.   

I am also sharing an interview with Elizabeth Gilbert I listen to this morning.  Also, very powerful and so uplifting.  So many nuggets of advise and wisdom.  All applicable to anyone, and artists especially.  I highly recommend getting inspired by both of these ladies!

Two day's after Wednesday

Today is all about inspiration.  I am often thinking about interior design and the idea of decorating other people's homes. My husband is an architect and I imagine one day being a dream team.  We're always discussing design and ideas. Anyway, today I'm sharing a few favorites from Amber Lewis... Her interiors inspire me!  Check out her Instagram where she shares clients houses she works on.  @amberinteriordesign

There is inspiration wherever you look, it's just a matter of really looking.

Wednesday's Reading

So I am curious... What books are you reading right now?

I have several books and magazines I am reading right now. These are most the books I'm reading but not all of them. I am also reading a book by, Mark Batterson that is so great! You can check it out here

Just received this book from my sister for my birthday,  I've only read the first few pages and am hooked.  It's just the book for me right now.  It came at just the right time...

Oh my!!  IN LOVE with this one! An all time favorite for sure.  I had it in my Amazon wish list for weeks.  I just bought it and received it in the mail this week.  I want to savior it, so much greatness! 

I have started journaling again.  I received a couple as gifts for my birthday, purchased some at Target.  I use each one for different things... For example:

1. The black one I am using for art goals and idea's.

2. The green sage colored one, is for thoughts and working through emotions.

3. White... Prayer journal

4. Top Moleskin started as a diet journal... not for losing weight but figuring out my food sensitivity. 

I used to journal every night, but haven't been in a routine for years.  I find it so helpful. And, it's not meant to be every day writing in each, but when I feel the need to express or write.

BIG MAGIC: 

I am in the middle of right now, and my dear friends Lindsay and Kandyce got it for me.  Great inspiration!!

I've been a huge fan of Emily Henderson's for years.  I've been following her since she was on the show, Design Star.  Great interior idea's and tips.
